This gene encodes a member of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) subfamily of nuclear receptors. PPARs form heterodimers with retinoid X receptors (RXRs) and these heterodimers regulate transcription of various genes. Three subtypes of PPARs are known: PPAR-alpha, PPAR-delta, and PPAR-gamma. The protein encoded by this gene is PPAR-gamma and is a regulator of adipocyte differentiation. Additionally, PPAR-gamma has been implicated in the pathology of numerous diseases including obesity, diabetes, atherosclerosis and cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in human patients with acute myocardial infarction identified the PPARG as one of five hub genes involved in disease progression, where it was significantly positively correlated with hematopoietic stem cell types and negatively correlated with T cells and B cells [Song et al. DOI:10.3389/fpubh.2022.894129]. A review of studies in mice, rats, and humans indicates that the PPARG is found at wound edges after skin injury and its activation by agonists like rosiglitazone or 15d-PGJ2 exerts strong antiinflammatory, antifibrotic, and antiapoptotic effects across multiple organs including kidney, lung, liver, brain, and heart, largely via inhibition of NF-κB and other pro-inflammatory pathways [Michalik, L.; Wahli, W. DOI:10.1172/JCI27958].
